Synopsis

Viplav, a weary insurance clerk in Kolkata, is trapped in a decaying life, struggling with illness, a crumbling apartment, and emotional distance from his family. Haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his activist friend Sunil decades ago, Viplav is burdened by guilt over his silence. When a principled colleague is beaten for leading a protest, the past threatens to repeat itself. As his personal world collapses, Viplav reaches a breaking point. He silently stands before a towering statue of the 'common man', built amidst political spectacle, and becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance. His quiet act of defiance triggers an unstoppable wave of collective rage, turning one man's despair into a powerful call for justice across an indifferent city.
